Stealth Mode

Using the Tradovate Trade Copier?

Stealth Mode works differently on Tradovate than it does on NinjaTrader. See Stealth Mode on Tradovate below.

Stealth Mode​

On NinjaTrader, Stealth Mode leaves each copied order's name blank instead of stamping it with the leader's order ID, so copied orders don't carry CrossTrade-specific labels. The copier keeps its own record of which follower order belongs to which leader order, so synchronization works the same way.

Stealth Mode does not change an order's timing, size, price, or type. It also does not make automated or copied trading acceptable where a prop firm prohibits it. Check your firm's current rules before using any copier.

The leader-to-follower order mapping survives disconnects and NinjaTrader restarts whether Stealth Mode is on or off; see Connection Resilience.

The Stealth Mode section of the copier editor, switched on.

Stealth Mode on Tradovate​

The Tradovate Trade Copier includes the same Stealth Mode toggle, but its reach is narrower because Tradovate is a broker API rather than a local trading platform. On Tradovate, Stealth Mode removes the attribution tag that names the leader account and order on each copied order, so follower orders carry no text linking them back to the account they were copied from.

What it does not do: hide that an order was placed through an API. Tradovate flags every API-submitted order as automated at the platform level, and CrossTrade does not misrepresent automated orders as manual entry. Stealth Mode never changes an order's size, price, or type.
